Club career

[edit]

Paris Saint-Germain

[edit]

Born in Villepinte, Seine-Saint-Denis, Dramé began playing football at CSL Aulnay-sous-Bois before joining the centre of pre-training of Paris Saint-Germain F.C. at Verneuil. Having come through the Paris Saint-Germain F.C. youth ranks, he was promoted to the first team in 2005 and played his first game in Ligue 1 on 11 September 2005 against RC Strasbourg. He went on to spend two years in the first team, with different outcomes: four matches in 2005–06, 20 in the next, with the capital outfit barely avoiding relegation in the latter.

Sochaux

[edit]

In July 2007, after refusing the extension of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain in August 2007, Dramé signed a four-year deal at fellow first divisioner FC Sochaux-Montbéliard.[2] At Sochaux, he appeared scarcely throughout his first campaign. He picked up a serious ankle sprain on his debut against former club PSG.[3]

On 1 September 2008, Dramé joined Spanish second division's Real Sociedad on a season-long loan. He made his debut in a 2–1 win at Gimnàstic de Tarragona, his only appearance of the season. In 2009, he joined Birmingham City on trial,[4] and was keen on a switch to the English Premier League,[5] but did not earn himself a contract.[6]

During the 2010–11 season Drame played 26 games for FC Sochaux-Montbéliard and scored two goals.[7] He was sidelined with knee surgery from January for a few weeks.[8] With his contract due to expire at the end of the season, Sochaux offered him a new deal they failed to meet Drame's wage demands.[9][10] His contract expired at the end of the 2011 season and he became a free agent. Clubs like Beşiktaş, Trabzonspor, Lecce and VfB Stuttgart showed interest in the player after his release.[11] In June 2011 Drame was linked with a move to Newcastle United.[12][13]

Chievo

[edit]

In August 2011, it was reported that Drame had joined Leeds United on trial. On 23 August, he was transferred from Sochaux to ChievoVerona on a free transfer.[14]

Paganese

[edit]

After not playing in the 2018–19 season, on 3 October 2019 he signed with Serie C club Paganese.[15]
